Correspondent Courier-Journal:--The
chief feature of to-day's session of the
General Assembly was the black eye the
House in its turn gave the Blair bill
and all other Federal aids to education,
thus following the precedent of the
Senate, which a few days ago clearly in

the death it deserved at the hands of
the House.

A BELATED exchange from Dresden
dated 1.-THE 14th," informs Its readers
thus:
There is not much probability of p
caucus being held-in fact. the attempt
has already proved a failure, petition
for this purpose having been circulated
among the members and tie requisite
number failing to sign This leaves
the sentorial contest a free fight for all
just as it should be.
The editor claims to be a Democrat,
and wants Stahlman for United States
Senator, he also states that the world
moves. Perhaps next week he'll hear
from the Banner that the Interstate
Commerce bill has been consolidated
with the Caucus resolution and both
of them vetoed by the Sheffield Lamb
shearing Association.

WHEN the Tobacco Leaf undertakes
to quote from the CHRONICLE the editor
the Leaf ought to first read the arti-
Gle he attempts to quote from. In his
issue of the 18th he ignorantly (of
course not intentionally misquot9s
what We wrote last week in regard to
the speech of Mr.. Grady of the Atlanta
Constitution.
Mr.. Grady in his speech said: "But
both Puritan and Cavalier were lost in
the storm OF their revolution" And Of
Lincoln he said: "He was the sum Of
Puritan and Cavalier, for in his ardent
nature were fused the virtues of both. ."
We denied this, and the Tobacco Leaf
misquotes us by stating that we said
"the Union between the North and the
South is the union of Mazeppa and the
dead horse"
Here is what we did say; "There is
no union to-day of the Cavalier and the
Puritan and there never WILL be-the
present situation is a union OF might
over right, union OF force against con-
sent, union of Mazeppa and the dead
horse"
The terms North and South were
net used at all, and we stand by the
truth OF the statement that 'there is no
union to-day OF the Cavalier and the
Puritan and there never will be. "
There is clear and striking difference
between them at this moment as there
is betweena States Rights Democrat
and a weakened Mugwump who
would ape the Puritan in his political
teachings,
AS specimen of the high mora
Puritanism which the Tobacco Lea
would teach 1.-The young men of the
South" we select this gem which he
presents to the young men; "Excep
as matter OF history it is no concern o
you who was right in the war between
the States" By the same mode o
reasoning the Tobacco Leaf edito
might as we'll tell our young men tina
Except as matter of history" it is n,
concern OF you as to who was right
Jesus Christ, Judas or Iscariot.
We were not discussing the war bu
= simply drawing the distinction between
: the Cavalier and the Puritan. II til,
Tobacco Leaf thinks the North wa
right, that Lincoln was the embodi
ment of all purity, and that Sherman
was philanthophist and lover {
truth he has perfect right to think s
and to print it, but as he seems fatal
incompetent to quote correctly W
, suggest that next time he will writ

Captain Pratt, Lieutenant Weed, and
myself held brief council of war. /
don't suppose that we three young fell
lows realized at the time that, acting in
such matter on our own responsible
ty, and without orders, we might get
ourselves into serious scrape with our
superiors. We all felt the same way
about the matter. It was the first
chance that had been presented to US
to see any real service, and we were
not the chaps to miss it. The Captain
issued his orders, and when the men
found out what was in the wind, they
were as eager to go as we were to lead
them.
The Captain and mounted our horses
and the Lieutenant marched with the
men. The muskets had been loaded
and capped, and the cartridge boxes
were full. Sure enough, when we came
round the Point, there was O tall-masted
vessel, without sails, snchored perhaps
hundred yards from the shore. We
could see q number of men on the
deck. The place was about where the
British landed in 1914.
The negro had informed us where
two boats were secreted. We dragged
them out, got in, and rowed out to the
vessel.
Now the reader will readily see what
might and probably would have hap
pened, had the situation been what we
had every reason to suppose it to be.
One dozen determined men, with no
better arms than we had, might have
held that deck in defiance of us. They
could have killed and wounded half of
us before our boats could have reached
the vessel; they could have easily
beaten us off altogether.
/ think our hearts were all pretty
well up toward our mouths, in anticipa-
tion of something of this sort, and our
men were all ready to use their muskets
on the slightest hostile demonstration.
But never a shot was fired. We
boarded the vessel and took possession.

think the young fellows should have
been sent to Fort Lafayette for while;
but their parents begged hard for their
release, promising that they would be
answerable for their future conduct,
and the kind old General discharged
them. I will venture that some of
them found their way to the Confed-

high praise.

The evidence also shows that the meeting Of
May was the result OF O previous conference
at which all the defendants took part that the
call for the meeting, the word ~TtitP," was
printed In two newspapers which some OF the
defendants controlled; that at that meeting
when speaker said we are peaceable." he
used the word -ruhe," which was the signal for
the bomb-throwing, and immediately the bomb
was thrown.
1t is held that the police were right in their
presence at the meeting The times were
been trouble at McCormick's the day before,
and the circulars which called the meeting
were threatening in their character. Hence 1t
was the duty Of the police to be ON hand to
protect the peace and To break up the meeting,
which was not an orderly one.
A., In view Of the facts presented by the record;
I'm a common conspiracy; that that conspiracy
was for the purpose OF overthrowing the law
that the meeting was called to further the con-

OF it; that Officer Degan died from wounds re-

The Queens Necklace.

The disastrous episode in the career
OF Marie Antoinette, which, by associ-
atlng the Queens name with the scan
dalous adventures of q diamond neck
lace, seems instinct with fiendish irony,
has been SO frequently and, in one or
two instances, so graphically described,
that only few words of comment will
be yentured upon here. If in this un-
even shadow of blame upon Marie
Antoinette, it is referrable solely to
her known infatuation for such costly
trinkets. There existed ample proofs
to establish the fact that the necklace
had been stolen by a disreputable
woman, who sought to implicate the
Queen in the nefarious transaction in
order to secure a very likely means of
escape from the probable consequences
of her crime. Her method of pro-
cedure was very ingenious. Being at
the time on questionable terms of inti-
macy with the Cardinal de Rohan,
whose position gave him access to the
Queen, she cunningly contrived to con-
vert him into docile instrument for
her purpose. Now, it is notorious that
this man was ever conspiring, either
openly or secretly, against the Queen,
and that he never enjoyed, nor was he
ever worthy to enjoy, her confidence.
By most of those who know him he
was regarded as mere scoundrel and
there is an opinion of him, expressed
many years before the unfortunate
event in question happened, the unfa-
vorable character of which was surely
not lessened as time advanced. It is
thus that Maria Theresa describes him
when, in 1772, he represented France
at the Austrian court:
"The Prince de Rohan displeases me
more and more. Without talents,
without prudence, and openly deprav-
ed in manners, he sustains very badly
the character of ambassador and ec-
clesiastic. A man presenting such
qualities would surely feel very con-
genIally disposed to accept part in
the conspiracy suggested to him; not,
it may be conceded, lending himself
to the chief but concealed object con-
templated by his temptress-the pur-
loining of the necklace-but as prom
ising means of casting an ignominious
stain upon Marie Antoinette. To this
end he forged the Queens name to
document seemingly authorizing him
to purchase the necklace, and thus sue
ceeded in mystifying the jewellers to
whom the diamonds belonged. When
very conclusive evidence of guilt was
brought home to the culprits the thief
was, to a certain extent, punished,
while the forger-the far greater
criminal, the man who sought to be-
foul the fair reputation of the Queen
was acquitted. This acquittal was
brough about through the influence of
certain dominant court cabal and
prolonged for some time because SEEM
